Neuroleptic: A term that refers to the effects of antipsychotic drugs on a patient, especially on his or her cognition and behavior.

If you need the difference between the two:
Typical antipsychotics (first generation antipsychotics, conventional antipsychotics, classical neuroleptics, or major tranquilizers) are a class of antipsychotic drugs first developed in the 1950s and used to treat psychosis (in particular, schizophrenia).
The atypical antipsychotics (AAP) (also known as second generation antipsychotics) are a group of antipsychotic tranquilizing drugs used to treat psychiatric conditions. Some atypical antipsychotics are approved for use in the treatment of schizophrenia & some for acute mania, bipolar depression, psychotic agitation, bipolar maintenance, and other indications.
Both generations of medication tend to block receptors in the brain's dopamine pathways, but atypicals are less likely to cause extrapyramidal motor control disabilities - these abnormal body movements can become permanent even after medication is stopped.
